Hey fellow wordpress users. Lately, we’ve started getting about 30 spam comments on our blog everyday. All comments on this blog are moderated, so I promptly delete the spam comments comment spam. But it is still a pain to go thru the comments and delete them one by one.

Does anyone know of a wordpress plugin that can detect and delete spam comments automatically? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, Tarun. Just visited the Akisment site and from this - “You have better things to do with your life than deal with the underbelly of the internet” it seems that they understand the pain. I’ll try it out.

Definitely use Akismet.
